Nokia Italy lists Lumia 925 for preorder with €599.90 final price

Nokia looks good on keeping their promise for a quick release on the Lumia 925—estimated to arrive in some European markets by the second week of June. Indeed Nokia Italy on their official shop site have now listed the super slim aluminum device for preorder.

Users can leave a €99.90 deposit down on the phone, available in black, grey or white, and then pay the remaining €500 when the product is ready to ship (there is no added shipping cost). Of course Nokia notes that the final price could change, though we highly doubt it will (and even if it did, it would most likely go down, not up).

With Italy taking the lead, hopefully other markets will follow soon. Anyone up for a good ol’ pre-order?

I am not certain what is the VAT in Italy, but likely something tad over 20%, which is the reason why you have to add a good 1/4th to the non-VAT price to get the actual retail price. The non-VAT price is obviously relevant to companies and entrepreneurs of varying kind as they can move their VATs for the final consumers to pay.

I knew it would end up being like that. I said it in one of my comments on Endgadget when the announced the pricing of the l925 that i will end up costing 600 euros after they add normaltax and "europrean premium rate".

920(480 euros) is a better deal than this.
You will get more storage and wireless charging built in.
Nokia should sell this at much lesser prices since this is not really and upgrade except for physical dimensions.

This is gonna bite Microsoft in the butt too. Making cheap phones to get a foot in the door isn't good. I'd like to see a survey on customer satisfaction after 6 months. When you start running into memory problems because you only have a few games, apps and a couple tunes. That's frustrating. Apple seen this and killed the 8GB iPhone. Microsoft should wise up and do the same.

Your 710 is on either 7.5 or 7.8 if you've done it yourself. My 810 on WP8 has 8 gb as well, and 8 gb on WP 8 is often NOT ENOUGH. Maybe MS will fix the issue and Nokia is pushing out their Storage Check feature to some WP8 phones, however comparing storage use under WP7 and WP8 is like comparing apples and oranges.

If you prefer over saturated colors then AMOLED is better. The screen in this case is more about personal taste. More lenses doesnt necessarily mean better quality. We have to compare the results first and leave marketing hype behind us.
